Ever see the hillclimb bikes run up that huge hill behind (and to the right) of the track ?

Yes, I went to see the hillclimbs. I was at the first one they held. They had a marker about 3/4 of the way up the hill after which the riders were to shut down and bail from their bikes. Why? because there was a construction yard at the top of the hill. If you crest the hill (and it was steep) there was about a four foot flat area, a stack of hay bales, then a chainlink fence with steel I-Beams stacked against it. A number of riders did not get the word to shutdown (or maybe they just didn't see the marker, they were hanging on for dear life) and they flew into those I-Beams. Bike and rider would tumble back down the hill. It was gruesome. One guy lost his finger which I found for him. Another was lying on the hill screaming with his foot dangling from his leg. I don't recall any kind of crowd control either.

Did you ever go see the boat demolition derbies?

Dave

Never saw that - I heard they had a motorcycle demolition derby once - THAT would have been somethin to see !!!
I used to love the "Parking Lot Drags" - pick-ups, vans, big sedans, etc . . . FUN FUN FUN ! ! !

So I was searching through the old Cloverleaf photos looking for other FL era MoPars and realized that ANY MoPar was a rare occurrence. It was 95% Ford vs. Chevy with mostly other GMs filling in the rest of the pack. This is the only other MoPar I could find.

Notice the rust out on that Baccaruda fastback, above....demo-racing it was probably a fitting final-solution to its
impoverished lifetime.

That #10-Poncho, above, looks like it inflicted some serious bodily injury to some fans, too.

Any such injuries would probably have been disallowed in court, because sporting event spectators are presumed to
have "Primary assumption of risk", meaning that their mere voluntary presence at an inherently dangerous event (like
at a baseball game where they can get hurt from errant balls and bats, etc) voids any claims for personal injury that
they might sustain in the course of attending that event....nowadays, entrance tickets have express disclaimers of
liability printed onto them.
